DESCRIPTION:Hopium: Confronting Fascism in the Obama Era\nThursday May 28th\n7:00 pm &

 BART)\nAdmission $10\n HYPERLINK "http://submedia.tv/tour" 
 http://submedia.tv/tour\n\nAn evening of underground film and discussion 
 with Franklin "The Stimulator" López of subMedia.tv. \n\nJoin the subMedia 
 posse – survival of the smartest starts now! Producer, videographer and 
 creative genius Franklin Lopez exposes crucial current trends with video 
 montages that mix culture jamming, news, satire, music and action to 
 scratch the social justice itch.\n\nHopium is a crash course on the 
 countercultures, protest movements, and underground forces set to collide 
 in the post-Bush world. Hopium delivers 90 minutes of short films, mashups, 
 and clips from Frank's  series It's the End of the World and We Know It and 
 I Feel Fine, the world's most subversive news show. The evening culminates 
 with highlights from the forthcoming END:CIV, and the documentary hit 
 GROUND NOISE & STATIC, a video report from the Democratic and Republican 
 national conventions in 2008. \n\nGROUND NOISE & STATIC\nUntold stories of 
 the 2008 presidential conventions 
\nGROUND NOISE & STATIC is a 
 manifesto. We went to Denver and St. Paul to take the pulse of the 
 movement. Corporate media would cover the platitudes and posturing of the 
 politicians, we were interested in something else, a story hidden in plain 
 sight, captured in the now-classic street chant, “This is what democracy 
 looks like.” \n\nThis independent documentary was produced by Franklin 
 López (subMedia.TV) and PepperSpray Productions, with contributions by 
 over a dozen indy journalists and media activists. Must-see video for 
 everyone who cares about a free press, police brutality, or democratic 
 rights. 30 minutes, also available on DVD.\n\nGROUND NOISE & STATIC is the 
 direct result of a wonderful collaboration with many indymedia-style 
 activists and journalists who all pitched in for the common good and 
 success of their various efforts to tell their “Unconventional” 
 stories.\n\nEND:CIV \n(in production) \nEND:CIV is the first feature film 
 to analyze our culture’s addiction to systemic violence, industrial 
 capitalism and environmental exploitation, as evidenced by the current 
 epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based on the 
 best-selling book by Derrick Jensen and the runaway success of director 
 Franklin Lopez, END:CIV asks: “”If your homeland was invaded by aliens 
 who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the 
 food supply, would you resist?”\nsubMedia\nSince its humble beginnings in 
 1994, subMedia has grown from a small group of determined filmmakers into a 
 grassroots network of socially and politically engaged artists and 
 individuals. subMedia scrutinizes popular culture and media through the 
 production of film, performance art, video, music and zines.\n\nEqual parts 
 performance and protest, an attitude of "art following action" defines 
 subMedia’s productions. From the regularly released and highly produced 
 video blog It’s the End of the World as We Know It, to the collaborative 
 documentary GROUND NOISE & STATIC, their work injects a radical analysis 
 into the culture with a double dose of satire and subversion  \n\n
